1992 Chevrolet Camaro RS review from North America
"Ho-Hum"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
In the past 3 years I've replaced head gaskets, alternator (twice), along with some other minor repairs.
General comments?
I've got a white 92' RS with a 305 v8 engine and red heritage edition racing stripes. First off the 305 is a dog of an engine, if you're looking for a 3rd generation camaro stick with the 350. (A stock 3rd-gen 350 isn't exactly great either, but you'll have more upgrade options in the aftermarket). The 305 is a decent daily commuter, but it just doesn't have the steam to keep up with any of the other V8 engines. It's got a quick first gear, but that's as good as it gets.
Inside, the car has lots of cheap plastic paneling, but has good room for both the driver and front passenger. My biggest complaint is all the squeaks and rattles inside the car from the plastic. Above 20 mph the car starts to sound like a mouse infested hayloft in a windstorm.
